SMH seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS® US Listed Semiconductor 25 Index. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the fund’s benchmark index. The index includes common stocks and depositary receipts of U.S. exchange-listed companies in the semiconductor sector. Such companies may include medium-capitalization companies and foreign companies that are listed on a U.S. exchange.
“Semis are starting to roll over. Technology is definitely showing some outflows,” said Mark Newton, technical analyst at Newton Advisors. “For me that signals people are exiting technology and it’s really not the right place to be.”
